The DEMEYERE 5-Plus Roasting Pan is designed for optimal heat distribution and durability, making it suitable for various roasting tasks. The included rack elevates food, allowing for even cooking and proper air circulation.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the roasting pan and rack.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the roasting pan and rack thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
3. Placement of Rack: Place the wire rack inside the roasting pan. Ensure it sits securely at the bottom of the pan.

Operating Instructions

1. Preheating: If your recipe requires preheating, place the empty roasting pan (with or without the rack, as specified by the recipe) in the oven.
2. Food Placement: Place the food item directly on the rack within the roasting pan. The rack ensures even heat circulation around the food.
3. Oven Use: The roasting pan is oven-safe. Always use oven mitts when handling the hot pan.
4. Basting: The pan's design allows for easy basting of food during the cooking process.
5. Removal: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the pan from the oven using oven mitts. Allow the pan and food to cool slightly before handling further.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand Washing Recommended: This roasting pan is not dishwasher-safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and integrity of the material.
• Cleaning: After each use, allow the pan to cool completely. Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
• Drying: Dry the pan and rack thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
• Storage: Store the clean, dry roasting pan and rack in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure adequate fat or liquid is used during cooking. Preheating the pan can also help prevent sticking.
• Discoloration: High heat or certain foods can sometimes cause slight discoloration on stainless steel. This is normal and does not affect performance. It can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner.
• Water Spots: Water spots are typically caused by mineral deposits from water. To prevent them, dry the pan immediately after washing. For existing spots, a solution of vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
